Lip Service to the Transcendental: A Solo Show by Darshika Singh at Method Kala Ghoda

Method Kala Ghoda opens the new year with an evocative solo exhibition by artist Darshika Singh titled Lip Service to the Transcendental. Running from January 9th to February 9th, 2025, this series of paintings invites viewers on a journey through rhythm, repetition, and transformation.

The Art of Rhythmic Exploration

Darshika Singh’s work is an ode to the interplay between the quantifiable and the fluid, the structured and the spontaneous. Through a meticulous process of rhythm and repetition, her paintings defy the constraints of perfection. Instead, they embrace imperfection, bending to whim, memory, and fantasy.

Each stroke and gesture in her work evolves, much like an ever-adapting gene—interacting, proliferating, and mutating with its surroundings. The result is an atmospheric, layered composition that feels alive, resonating with an air of truth that emerges from within the process itself.

A Skeleton of the Self

At its core, Lip Service to the Transcendental explores the innate and primordial—what the artist describes as a "bone-dry skeleton of the Self." Stripped bare yet pulsating with life, her paintings invite deep introspection, compelling viewers to engage with their own truths and intuitive knowing.

This journey through repetitive gestures and geometrical shapes transforms into a dynamic exploration of self-awareness and the ephemeral nature of existence.

About Darshika Singh

Born in Lucknow, Darshika Singh works across video and painting, weaving rhyme, rhythm, and repetition into her art. Her exploration of the absurd and ambient is deeply rooted in her background in art, fashion design, and philosophy.

Darshika’s works have graced galleries in cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Philadelphia, and London. With multiple group exhibitions at Method and participation in the Conditions Online Programme (2024-25) under the mentorship of sculptor James Lewis, she continues to expand her creative horizons.

Method: A Space for Revolution and Discovery

Inspired by the boundless possibilities of creativity, Method is more than a gallery; it is a movement. With two locations in Mumbai—Kala Ghoda and Bandra—Method fosters collaboration and experimentation, offering a space where art transcends boundaries.

By embracing limitlessness, Method provides a platform for artists like Darshika Singh to explore, innovate, and connect with audiences in profound ways.
